　　Well, his raven² squawked. "Well." “好吧？”他的乌鸦呱呱叫，“好吧？”

　　I am, my lord, Jon lied... loudly, as if that could make it true. "And you?" “大人，我很好。”琼恩撒了谎……还特意大声，仿佛这样可让谎言成真。“您呢？”

　　Mormont frowned. "A dead man tried to kill me. How well could I be?" 莫尔蒙又是眉头一皱。“有个死人想杀我，你觉得我能好到哪里去？”

　　He scratched under his chin. 他抓了抓下巴。

　　His shaggy grey beard had been singed³ in the fire, and he'd hacked⁴ it off. 由于长长的灰胡子被火烧到，他便把胡子给割了。

　　The pale stubble of his new whiskers made him look old, disreputable, and grumpy. 新长出来的白色短须使他看起来不仅丑陋了些，老上许多，更显得脾气暴躁。

　　"You do not look well. How is your hand?" “说实话，你的气色不太好，手怎么样了？”

　　Healing. Jon flexed⁵ his bandaged fingers to show him. “正在复原。”琼恩动动自己绑了绷带的手指给他看。

　　He had burned himself more badly than he knew throwing the flaming drapes, and his right hand was swathed in silk halfway⁶ to the elbow. 扔那堆窗帘所带来的灼伤比他预期中严重许多，现在他的右手臂缠满了丝绷带，一直绑到手肘。

　　At the time he'd felt nothing; the agony had come after. 当时他一点感觉也没有，之后才开始疼痛。

　　His cracked red skin oozed⁷ fluid, and fearsome blood blisters⁸ rose between his fingers, big as roaches. 他裂开的红皮肤内流出液体，一个个吓人的充血水泡布满指间，大得像蟑螂似的。

　　"The maester says I'll have scars, but otherwise the hand should be as good as it was before." “学士说会留下疤痕，但除此之外应该没有大碍。”

　　A scarred hand is nothing. On the Wall, you'll be wearing gloves often as not. “手上有疤没关系，在长城这儿，你大多时候都会戴手套。”

　　As you say, my lord. It was not the thought of scars that troubled Jon; it was the rest of it. “大人，您说的是。”困扰琼恩的不是疤痕，而是其他的部分。
